Definitions

  • This invention refers to a combustion head for burners particularly suited to achieving the combustion of gaseous fuels with low NOx emission.
  • combustion reaction between fuel and comburent in gas burners is achieved by means of a combustion head that substantially comprises a tubular duct, which conveys the comburent fluid originating from a blower to the combustion chamber where it mixes with a gaseous fuel delivered by means of one or more nozzles.
  • An ignition device of known type sparks off the mixture, thereby starting the combustion.
  • burners have been developed with combustion heads in which reduction of flame temperature takes place by recirculating part of the smoke produced during combustion inside the combustion head where the flame is present.
  • the smoke present in the combustion chamber is attracted to the flame and, as it does not take part in the combustion reaction, it absorbs heat, cooling the flame and thereby reducing nitric oxide NOx emissions.
  • This invention has the main object of embodying a gas combustion head, to be used in a gas burner, in which a different solution from that of simple smoke recirculation is adopted for lowering the flame temperature, with the object of reducing the production and emission of NOx.
  • a combustion head for gaseous fuels is embodied according to the characteristics specified in claim 1.
  • a combustion head forming the subject of this invention is indicated as a whole by reference 100.
  • a primary gaseous fuel (methane, for example) is sent through a central pipe 1 (having a longitudinal axis of symmetry X) to a nozzle 2.
  • the nozzle 2 is able to inject the primary gaseous fuel in output from a plurality of holes 2a into a combustion chamber CC (see further on).
  • the axes Y of the holes 2a are perpendicular to axis X.
  • a gas distributor 3 is coaxially fixed on this pipe 1, which, as will be better seen further on, is suitable for distributing the gas fuel arriving from a plurality of gas tubes 4, preferably but not necessarily arranged in a spaced-out manner on a circumference CIR ( Figure 2).
  • Each gas tube 4 has a first end 4a, facing towards the inside of the combustion head 100, and a second end 4b facing, instead, towards the combustion chamber CC.
  • An intermediate pipe 5 (coaxial to both the central pipe 1 and the gas distributor 3) with an internal diameter greater than that of the circumference CIR is provided on the outside of the plurality of gas tubes 4.
  • This intermediate pipe 5 has a taper 5a, the purposes of which will be specified further on.
  • a first feed channel C1 of comburent fluid (air, for example) to the combustion chamber CC is defined.
  • the intermediate pipe 5 is able to slide in one of the two axial directions defined by the arrow F.
  • an operator, or an actuator uses a bracket (not shown) connected to the intermediate pipe 5.
  • an outer pipe 6 is provided which terminates with a truncated-cone profile 6a at the free end facing the combustion chamber CC.
  • the central pipe 1 rests on a support SOS (which passes through an opening SC made in the intermediate pipe 5) fixed to the outer pipe 6 via two screws DF1 and DF2. From what has been previously said, it follows that a second feed channel C2 of comburent fluid (air, for example) to the combustion chamber CC is defined between the intermediate pipe 5 and the outer pipe 6.
  • the quantity of comburent fluid injected into the combustion chamber CC through the second channel C2 is controlled by varying a distance D between the taper 5a and the truncated-cone profile 6a.
  • the intuition that it is sufficient to move the intermediate pipe 5 along one of the directions indicated by the arrow F to vary the distance D is immediate.
  • a cylindrical sleeve 7 is provided between the central pipe 1 and the gas tubes 4.
  • a circular crown-shaped disc 8 is welded to the cylindrical sleeve 7.
  • the disc 8 lies on a plane perpendicular to the axis X and has a number of holes 8a, visible in Figure 2. Furthermore, the disc 8 has a central hole 9, through which the central pipe 1 passes when in use.
  • the disc 8, and therefore the cylindrical sleeve 7, is fixed to the central pipe 1 by means of a number of screws 10 in proximity to the nozzle 2.
  • the combustion head 100 is equipped with a combustion device 11 able to provide a pilot light near the nozzle 2 and a traditional type of piezoelectric ignition device 12.
  • the gas distributor 3 includes a central hub 3a (through which the central pipe 1 passes) from which gas feed pipes 3b radiate that are able to transfer part of the combustible gas from the central pipe 1 to the gas tubes 4 spaced out along the circumference CIR ( Figure 2).
  • each gas tube 4 has an aperture 4c near to its end 4a.
  • each gas feed pipe 3b has a vertical section 13, with a central axis of symmetry Z perpendicular to axis X, and a horizontal section 14, with a central axis of symmetry K parallel to axis X.
  • the sections 13 and 14 are placed in series with respect to each other.
  • the junction region between the vertical section 13 and the horizontal section 14 has a circular hole 15, through which the corresponding gas tube 4 passes when in use ( Figure 1).
  • each gas tube 4 has a horizontal portion 4d, the central axis of symmetry of which coincides with axis K (parallel to axis X), and a portion 4e, the central axis of symmetry J of which is inclined at an angle ⁇ with respect to said axis K.
  • the angle ⁇ advantageously has values in the range between 0° and +90°.
  • One end 16a of a respective control rod 16 is fixed to each gas tube 4 by means of respective screws VT ( Figure 1).
  • the other end 16b of the control rod 16 rests on a support structure 17 positioned inside the intermediate pipe 5.
  • the support structure 17 essentially lies on a plane perpendicular to axis X.
  • the axis of the control rod 16 essentially coincides with axis K.
  • each gas tube 4 is equipped with a screw V perpendicular to axis K, abutting on the final portion of the section 14.
  • the screw V allows just the rotation of each gas tube 4 around axis K in the direction of a double-headed arrow R.
  • each end 16b of each rod 16 is equipped with a rotational and locking device 18.
  • This device 18 includes a plate 18a welded to the rod 16, a groove 18b (possibly graduated) ( Figure 3) made on the support structure 17, an indicator element 18c engaged in the groove 18b, and a clamping element 18d composed of a bolt that, when screwed on a threaded portion of the rod 16 itself, fixes the latter to the support structure 17.
  • an operator can adjust the position of the end 4b of any gas tube 4 in the combustion chamber CC by simply unscrewing the corresponding clamping element 18d, and turning the relative rod 16 in one of the two directions identified by the arrow R. Once the desired configuration is achieved, its detection aided perhaps by the position of the indicator element 18c, the operator only needs to tighten clamping element 18d again.
  • the operator can empirically measure the characteristics of the smoke discharged in the flue (not shown) and consequently adjust the positions of the ends 4b inside the combustion chamber CC to achieve emissions with low NOx content.
  • each tube 4 can be provided with one or more holes 19 perpendicular to axis K. A certain quantity of gas comes out from these holes 19, which mixes mainly with air coming from the duct C1.
  • Figure 4 shows a solution in which the end 4b of every gas tube 4 has a circular crown-shaped element 20 able to limit the quantity of secondary gas entering the combustion chamber CC and/or increase the speed of the gas in output.
  • Figure 5 another embodiment is adopted, which provides a semicircular-shaped element 21 able to limit the quantity of secondary gas entering the combustion chamber CC and to direct the same secondary gas jet.
  • Figures 5a, 5b, 5c and 5d are nothing other than four different configurations in relation to the position assumed by the end 4b after turning the corresponding rod 16 in one of the two directions indicated by the arrow R. It is evident that to be able to assume all four of the configurations shown in Figures 5a, 5b, 5c and 5d, the groove 18b must extend for an entire 360° angle.
  • this invention not only provides easy and accurate combustion regulation to give low NOx content emissions, but also gives an extremely simple solution to the problem of disassembling many of the elements included in the combustion head 100.
  • the regulation of the position of the end 4b is not just angular according to the arrow R described up to now, but also axial, as the respective gas tube 4 also moves in the direction and senses defined by the arrow F.
  • neither the central pipe 1, nor, still less, the intermediate pipe 5, is provided in the head 100.
  • all of the air is channelled in the outer pipe 6 and the combustible gas is distributed by just the gas tubes 4 arranged on the circumference CIR.
  • a fan (not shown) provides an adequate flow of comburent fluid (air, for example), which is channelled in the outer pipe 6 that effectively encloses all of the combustion head 100.
  • This airflow is subsequently divided, thanks to the special geometry of the previously described combustion head 100, into three partial flows respectively named primary air A1, secondary air A2 and tertiary air A3 ( Figure 1).
  • the primary air A1 is sent to the nozzle 2 and distributed in a homogeneous manner thanks to the presence of holes 8a in the disc 8 ( Figure 2).
  • the mixing of the combustible gas leaving the holes 2a with the air arriving from the holes 8a takes place close to the disco 8. Therefore, the ignition of the gas/air mixture and the formation of the primary flame take place precisely in the zone of the disc 8.
  • the secondary air A2 in output from the region between the taper 5a and the outer surface of the cylindrical sleeve 7 mixes with the combustible gas in output from the holes 19 of the gas tubes 4, and laps the primary combustion zone to give rise to secondary combustion.
  • the tertiary air A3 also takes part in the combustion in the known manner, entering the combustion chamber CC through the region between the taper 5a and the truncated-cone profile 6a.
  • the breadth of this region is adjustable by varying the value of D ( Figure 1), making the intermediate pipe 5 advance or withdraw via known systems.
  • the main novelty of this invention consists of the introduction of a considerable portion of secondary gas through a plurality of gas tubes 4. Thanks to the fact that at least a portion 4e of each gas tube 4 is inclined, the secondary gas is introduced into the combustion chamber CC in the peripheral zone of the flame. This allows the flame itself to be cooled, with consequent low production of harmful NOx.
